How many species?

Peter Collins' thread on states and provinces got me to thinking about
how many species of fish (loosely speaking) I've caught.

On the fly:

rainbow trout
cutthroat trout
brown trout
brook trout
lake trout
mountain whitefish
coho salmon
pink salmon
chinook salmon (fry only)
sockeye salmon (kokanee only)
bull trout
dolly varden
arctic char (probably)
grayling
largemouth bass
smallmouth bass
bluegill
punkinseed (sunfish)
striped bass
bonefish
trevally
puffer
tarpon
yellow snapper
mutton snapper
jack crevalle
pudding wife
squirrel fish
barracuda

by other means:

walleye
northern pike
white perch
yellow perch
gar
carp
croaker
eel

I'm sure I've missed some, including various reef fish in Belize that I
couldn't even identify.

Close to home , I have caught (on the fly)

Rainbow trout
Cutthroat trout
Bull Trout
Brown Trout
Brook trout
Golden trout (the real kind, not some albino rainbow)
Lake Trout

Rocky Mountain Whitefish

Northern Pike

A squawfish or two, but these were accidental

red-finned suckers (happens every year during runoff as I dredge the
bottom with big nymphs)

I have also caught, but not on the fly, and not necessarily close to home:

Walleye
Chinook Salmon
Coho Salmon
Sculpins
Perch

I can't think of any others.
